Answer:

365 million years ago

Explanation:

The tetrapods are a super-family which includes all living and extinct vertebrates that have walked and are still walking the Earth, including the mammals, reptilians, dinosaurs, sinapsids, pterodactyls, amphibians, birds. They have evolved from fish-like creatures that were living in the shallows, and over the course of millions of years they were slowly changing and adapting to amphibian life, thus partially aquatic, partially terrestrial. The first proper limbs, at least what is know so far from the fossil records, have emerged with the ichthyostega and acoantostega around 365 million years ago. These two species were able to lift their body above the ground with their limbs, support its weight, and walk on them without dragging their body on the ground. The first transitional limbs can be seen in a species that has been dated to around 375 million years ago, the Tiktaalik, which had had limbs, but still not well developed, and it was only able to stand on them while in shallow water, but on on land.

Ivahew [28]

Answer: The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Digestions refers to the breaking down of food (larger molecules) into smaller absorb-able units.

Chemical digestion refers to digestion of food with the help of chemicals such enzymes, acid, and bile.

Enzymes are the main type of chemicals which hydrolysis (breaking down of compound with the help of water) the macro-molecules such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, et cetera into smaller and simpler units.

For example, amylase hydrolyse polysaccharides into smaller units such as maltose and glucose; trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin are enzymes which hydrolyze polypeptides into amino acids, nucleases are the enzymes which help in hydrolysis of nucleic acids, et cetera.

Bile and lipases help in emulsification of fats.

Thus, the correct answer is option E.
